  • Thanks to the encouragement and advise from my MFP comrade Nowornever3, I did Level 3 day 1. Modified the jumping stuff a fair bit just to be safe on the knees, but i bought a neoprene support and the knees feel fine so far! I need to kick it a bit more next time (i am so terrified on a knee injury), but i do like Level 3.…

  • If you're not already in a P90X commercial, I'm pretty sure you will be. That is some craaaaaaazy transformation you've achieved. Kind of makes me wonder if I can't look like the Nike poster chicks. :)

  • I've been told to do each level for 10 days. And I do 35-45 minutes of extra cardio after the Shred. Of course,I'm sitting with ice on my knees right now, Day 20, end of level 2. So i might have pushed the envelope a bit.

  • I did Day 10 of Level 2, but with ZERO impact, I literally modified everything. My knee (the ligament above and over my kneecap) is very sore. I am hoping it will be ok tomorrow for Level 3. Has anyone else had this? Seems to me it's just overuse and not actual injury. But, I don't want to ground myself from exercise, so I…

  • The venue did exactly the right thing. But, I'm curious to know how the OP knows she didn't pay for the upgrade? Perhaps she did. It's not like she'd pull out a wad of cash in the middle of a crowd and hand it to some usher. But, even if she didn't, I am glad this woman found some compassion at the concert. I quite think…

  • There are so many factors. Height is only one. An ideal weight for 5' 6" woman literally ranges from 110 to 150 depending on your frame and how much muscle you have. I bet there are many women who are over 150 and at a perfectly healthy weight too. There's no idea number. have you body fat measured. that's far more…

  • 13.5 inches?????????????????? You should be crying tears of joy. That's a LOT of inches. Who cares about a number on a scale. Worry about the number on the tag inside your clothes. Which is certainly getting smaller.
    in I'm so angry I could cry! Comment by sculptandtone June 2011
  • I have had some very bad experiences with the scale. Have adopted unhealthy eating habits after the scale didn't reflect the effort. For some people the scale is a valuable tool. For many, it's ups and downs can be very destructive to your efforts. You know what you're doing is working because your clothes are looser. So,…

  • Do you want it? Do you REALLY want to lose those 9 kgs? Ask yourself this question. If the answer is genuinely yes, then you KNOW what you have to do. You have to log your food and exercise every single day. You know that seeing your eating mistakes in black and white helps you avoid them the next time. You know that…

  • I wonder if you're not best to set shorter, monthly goals....that you can adjust as you see what's working for you? Then if you have a goal that you don't meet, it will be a little one, not a "failure". Just a small goal to adjust. Besides, while I do understand that you want results as fast as possible, does it really…
    in 60lbs in 6 months realistic? Comment by sculptandtone June 2011
  • I personally don't believe that starvation mode happens at just under 1200 calories or even at 600 calories. I have read enough to believe that your metabolism will adjust to lower calorie intake eventually (meaning slow a bit in response to it after a very long time). This is why, without having tried it personally, I can…
